Metabolic Monday!


Had a pretty restful weekend and ready to jump into my second week of Metabolic Renewal!  I'm going to tighten up my meals a bit (I had cheat meals, guilty!) I'm also going to add in some "burnouts"... burnouts are five extra minutes of workout after your workout and designed to ramp up your fat burning.
 I did lots of sleeping yesterday, my body needed a break! But still got in about 3 miles yesterday.
Saturday was my epic day of 10,000 steps! This pedometer shows how many walk sessions were 3,000 steps, 7,000 steps, etc. I've been pretty good!

 Yay! 10,000 steps is kinda time consuming in a busy day but Saturday I just kept chipping. 4+miles made me feel like my old self.
Got my Metabolic Renewal program in the mail and it's a bit of a read so I'll chip at it in time. Mainly getting the main gist of what to eat, when, how long I need to do certain things and what to not do. You work with your cycle and ease up some weeks and ramp up on others. Carbs are eaten only at certain times depending on your hormone type and vegetables and proteins are the main players. Up SUPER early to do mileage, workout and hit the studio. I avoided all work this weekend and now it's time to catch up. Rest is part of the recovery so NO GUILT in actually chilling on the weekend like one should.
Have a great start to the week everyone!

    I still haven't learned to rest on the weekend. I'm certainly less productive, but I can't completely goof off. Good job balancing it all and knowing when to rest.

      Thank you! I still fight with guilt about resting but it's actually the most productive thing you can do for your body. Recharge 🌞

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
